Feb 2G, i946, H BOYD CONTAINER FOR ICE CREAM SUNDAES Filed Oct. 5, 1958 Attorneys Patented Feb. 20, 1940 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE Claims.

This invention relates to containers for prepared ice cream sundaes, and has for the primary object the provision of an inexpensive and sanitary device of the above stated character whereby 5 a flavoring or syrup or syrup and fruit mixed with each other and ice cream may be brought together in the form of a sundae and sold to the trade for consumption oi of the premises of 4 the seller and obtainable from the container by theV purchaser either by removing the lid or bottom of the device, and which will be extremely easy to handle, sanitary and provide la low cost of distribution and permit a more uniform sundae as to quality and amount to be obtained by the consumer.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described Aand Claimed.

For a complete understanding of my invention, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view illustrating a container constructed in accordance with my invention.

Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view illustrating a. modification of theinvention.

Referring in detail to the drawing, the numeral 5 indicates the body of the device which is of tubular shape forming the main portion of the container. One, end of the body 5 is closed by a cover or lid 6 while the other end of the bodyv 5 is closed by a bottom 1. 'I 'he cover 6 and the bottom 1 are provided with retaining flanges 8 adapted to have frictional fit with the body 5 of the container when the device is assembled.

As shown in Figure 1, the cover or lid 6 may include a dome-shaped portion 9 providing therein a chamber to receive a avoring orsyrup or syrup and fruit mixed or other combinations of ingredients employed in the making of ice cream sundaes. The avoring or like ingredients l are placed inthe cover or lid when the latter is in an inverted position and may be frozen if desired. The body 5 isthen positioned on the cover or lid and filled with ice cream. The bottom 1 is then applied to the body 5. The device then containsthe makings of an ice cream sundae and may be readily stored and kept in a frozen condition, also nwill be convenient to ship and easily handled by the seller to the consumer. The

consumermay readily carry the device in entirety to any place desired and -obtain thecontentsby simply removing either the bottom or (Cl. 22S-5.5)

the lid. When the bottom is removed it is preferable that the contents be served on a dish or the like. However, when the cover or lid is removed the contents then may be eaten from the device. 5

While I have described that the cover or lid includes the dome-shaped portion 9, it may be of other shapes to form a chamber to receive the ilavoring which go to makeup an ice cream sundae with the ice cream or if desired the cover 10 or lid may be substantially fiat. As shown in Figure 1 the bottom also includes a dome-shaped portion which extends upwardly into the body 5.

Referring to my modified form of the invention as shown in Figure 2, the body is indicated 15 by the character I0, the cover or lid by the character II and the bottom by the character I2. In this instance, the cover `or lid II and the bottom I2 are of substantially dome-shape with the dome of the bottom extending upwardly in the 20 body I0 and the dome of the lid or cover extending above the body I0. The body I0 is of cylindrical formation and adjacent its ends is provided with internal grooves I3 in which may snap the edges of the cover andthe bottom. The 25 lcover and bottom are provided with lips or ears I4 to facilitate the removal vof these parts from the body I0.

A suitable waterproof lining (not shown) may be arranged in the cover or lid prior to placing 30 the avoring therein. This lining may be made of Cellophane or any other material suitable for the purpose. Also it is to `be understood that the container described in detail and shown in the drawingV may be made of paper or a composition 35- of materials or of glass if desired.

It is believed that the foregoing description, when taken in connection with the drawing, will fully set forth the construction and advantages. of this invention to those skilled in the art to 40 which such device relates, so that further detailed description will not be required.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:

1. A container for prepared sundaes compris-` 45 ing a body, a removable bottom for said body and a removable lid for said body and including a chamber arranged outwardly of the body for receiving avoring to combine with ice cream filling said body to make a sundae. 50

2. A container for prepared sundaes comprising a tubular body, a bottom removably mounted on onel end of said body, and a lid removably mounted on the other end of the body and including an offset portion arranged exteriorly of 55 the body to form a chamber for the reception o! the body in forming a sundae.

3. A container for prepared sundaes comprising a tubular body, a lid for said body and including a dome-shaped portion arranged to extend outwardly of the body to form a chamber to receive a sundae avoring to cooperate with ice cream arranged in the body and forming a sundae, and a bottom for said body and including a dome-shaped portion extending inwardly of the body.

4. A container comprising a. tubular body, a

' lid including a dome-shaped portion and a body with the dome-shaped portion arranged outwardly of the body and providing therein a chamber to receive a sundae avoring, and a bottom including a marginal ilange to frlctionally tit the body and a dome-shaped portion extending.
